<p>Filtering allows certain files to be masked from view in the
<a href="../pane_files/files_pane.htm">Files pane</a>; <b>only</b> the files you 
specify (and folders) will be visible.&nbsp; This helps find files quickly, 
particularly in folders which contain a large number of files, such as the <i>
Windows</i> folder.&nbsp; Filtering can be applied on a tab-by-tab basis.</p>

<h3><a name="apply"></a>Apply Filter</h3>
<p>This menu item is a toggle which enables/disables filtering; filtering (when 
enabled) always uses the last set wildcard pattern, as shown on the <b>Set 
Filter...</b> (Filter Results) dialog.</p>
<p>When filtering is enabled, the following image is present in the center of 
the Files pane:

If filtering is disabled, the files which are now visible may be placed at the 
top of the file list; a <a href="refresh.htm">Refresh</a> may need to be done in 
order to sort the files.</p>
